Hawaii Scuba Diving is Enhanced By the Fact that the Hawaiian Islands are Remote.

Hawaii Scuba Diving in it's underwater world is a dream most scuba divers would love to fulfill. Hawaii is of course a series of islands but truly many more than most people realize. There are eight major islands to dive: Maui, Big Island, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kauai, Niihau and Kahoolawe, but most people are surprised to learn that there are a total of one-hundred and forty-three islands in the Hawaiian chain. Not only does this mean that there is a lot of reef to be explored in Hawaii but much of it is still in good shape even though the islands have been encroached upon by civilization for centuries Obviously Hawaii and all its islands are completely surrounded by ocean but the one fact that truly makes the waters surrounding Hawaii so different is that the islands themselves are literally so far away from any other landmass. This fact alone has played a major role in the development of the underwater world here and though the oceans of the world are obviously connected it is surprising how little migration takes place among most species of sea life and in actuality the sea life found in the waters of the Hawaiian Islands consists of 30% that are native to the Hawaiian Islands. Knowing this, it is no wonder that Hawaii Scuba Diving is on the "dive list" of almost every serious diver in the world.

The Diving Clarity Makes Hawaii Scuba Diving Remarkably Good.

The clarity of the ocean here also makes it a natural for Hawaii scuba diving. In many places and on most days the visibility can be in excess of one-hundred feet. Water temperature in Hawaii is also a formidable factor in attracting scuba divers to its shores. The average water temperature varies throughout the year from between 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit and this accompanied by a average air temperature of between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit make diving in Hawaii all that more attractive. Having such moderate temperature ranges makes diving in Hawaii pleasant at all times of the year and hence there is really no specific season you need to arrange to be here for a diving vacation.
